Hello Seekers
This is about the ongoing story of you!

The body progresses downward but the spirit progresses upward. See that this vehicle, this encasement is not your essence. It is just a borrowed construct; a creation, which is subject to time and decay. What you are, is summed up in what you have learned. You only have to remember yourself at seven and seventeen, at thirty or beyond to know that even what you think you are, does not remain stable but is every changing. Once you learn a thing, you cannot unlearn it, and one bit of wisdom connects to another. You accumulated wisdom built one experience upon another, day in and day out, year upon year.

It is reality then to see that your consciousness expands as your body contracts and this is why any old person of 90 still feels seven within. There is a part that does not wither but is forever flexible and curious. Remember how impatient you were at seven always wanting every experience to hurry up and appear? The old person of 90 has learned patience from the break down of the body. He shuffles instead of races across the room but this need not be a cause for depression if one realizes that each life is a little piece of the film in a ever renewing story of you.

The confusing thing for humans is they cannot see the rest of the story before or after this snippet of life in a physical body, so they assume this one is the only one. But the 90 year old is no more the real person than the seven year old was, or the thirty years old, and this snippet and the identity which has been constructed is temporary. Once you shed this body you shed what you were and become a composite of the wisdom you have gained through all your experiences. The seven year olds world is very different from that of the 90 yeas old. After all you cannot describe the life of a old person to a child and have him understand why grandpa or grandma cannot jump in the lake with him or why they need glasses to see. So if you were born in one life a man of wealth and yet lived a life as a beggar or a midwife in another, which life is the real you? The answer is all of them. but humanity cannot remember for the most part and if they could death would lose its horror, and be seen as it really is, the next chapter.

Since this body is only a construct it can be terminated by the soul anytime near the beginning, in the middle or at the end, sometimes a soul decides it needs only that amount of time to complete a purpose here. It comes and leaves to affect those left behind for a reason no one sees or can see. Humanity thinks death of the aged is acceptable and death at any other time is unacceptable but the grim reaper does not reach down and coldly pluck someone in the middle of life anymore than it reaches down for someone at the end of life. It is always at the decision of the soul ultimately but because most of humanity has forgotten their connection to their soul they have also forgotten why they came here in the first place, so when one abruptly leaves it is thought to be a punishment or an accident. There are no accidents in the universe.

Each soul decides the time and manner of coming and leaving and only those who are ignorant look upon death as a punishment. With the acquiring of wisdom, comes the understanding that one is an eternal being and not the head, the brain, the torso or the legs. That which you really are inhabits these for a while and then discards them as the butterfly emerges again from the discarded cocoon.
That is why only wisdom and love can be taken from earth as one flies away to prepare and make the blueprints for the next saga of your continuing story.
